    I don't really like the thought of enforcing ageism but something does need to be done because these 70 year olds are just so out of touch with the rest of the world they are incapable of addressing modern problems. Hell most of them probably don't even care cause they won't live long enough to see the consequences of their actions.

      Ageism is already enforced in the other direction and nobody takes issue with it. If a 12 year-old can't be president, neither can a 72 year-old. What I'm saying is that the next president needs to be 12 years old.

        Yeah I also get why we don't want kids in charge of anything. I wish there was some compitancy test we could give people before they ran for any public office but I'm sure it would end up racist as fuck.

          Just give em the Alzheimer's test. If that's racist then it's probably best that we catch that anyway.

        That's just liberalism. Age has nothing to do with the fact they're the servants of capital (and I guess are capitalists themselves). You could make every person in Congress younger than 30 and literally nothing would change.

        Young billionaires don't care about climate change even though they'll love to see a lot more of it than the old ones
